I don't think I've heard of that before, but I wonder about the proportions - how much amaretto and how much OJ do you use?
I was looking for an idea for a Friday evening cocktail yesterday and still have lots of the Absolut Kurant. I puréed some fresh watermelon ("seedless") and strained it. (It doesn't have to be strained, but I like it clearer in colour.) I poured about 2 oz of the Absolut Kurant and about 3 oz of the watermelon juice into a shaker along with a few drops of lemon juice and some ice, shook it and poured it into a big martini glass and added a small splash of sparkling water. Garnish with a small watermelon slice.
Not a bad drink........
